I Feel Bloated.

For the past two days, I have been feeling bloated right after my first meal of the day. It feels like my stomach is full of air because I keep on burping again and again. What makes it more uncomfortable is the pain in my upper back. At first, I thought it was just body pain, but it seems connected to the bloated feeling too. Earlier, hubby tried massaging my upper back and strangely, more burps kept coming out afterward. It somehow gave a little relief, but the bloated feeling still lingers. Maybe I just ate too fast lately or my food too oily or my stomach is acting up because of the heat and stress. Have you ever experienced something like this where bloating also causes back discomfort?

I was going to ask you if you eat too fast, I often do and I know it's not good. Try to slow down and chew your food for longer time.

It sounds like trapped air.

It is impressive that your husband is skilled at massaging you to help relieve your bloating. It is not widely known that massaging the back can alleviate the sensation of bloating, but such techniques may stimulate certain muscles and improve circulation, potentially easing discomfort in the abdominal area.

Yes, he is used to doing that when I feel bloated. But I haven't felt bloated in a while except the past two days

Our digestive system changes a bit as we get older. I sometimes feel bloated.
